My Mead Made Modern

Well, Chris (bikewhorder) and I think this is a Mead. I bought it without wheels, and put modern 700c wheels on it. And some scout bars. Im bummed it didnt have the truss rods. I dont know much about this bike but it is an awesome Frame/Fork!

Was told it was somewhere between 1923-25.

What! I didn't say that, I said I think its a Schwinn with a mead fork added later.

Actually looking at those pictures closer, I'm going to say that it is a repaint because the headset cups match the rest of the paint. It looks like a repainted Mead Ranger to me. -Chris

Looks like some decal remnants on the head tube, can we get a better shot of those?

Sorry chris I misunderstood you. I thought you meant it was a schwinn built mead.

I picked this mead ranger at the iron ranch swap ...i have the orig. rear fender and a huntin' & peckin' for an orig blue front fender...just snagged an orig. aristrocrat saddle also missin' the correct chain adjusters and a end cap to one of the brampton pedals...a very fun bike to ride...it has the early new departure rae hub too....

Sidewalk bike

I've seen 2 examples of the Iroquois bikes and both were sidewalk bikes.
